Jeremy Corbyn has started his last push to get to Number 10 at an early-morning rally in Glasgow.

The Labour leader led campaigning in busy shopping area Buchanan Street, attracting a small crowd despite the early hour.

He told the assembled supporters it was his 84th rally of this General Election campaign and the first of SIX he would be attending before 9pm tonight.

Encouraged by polls showing the gap is closing on the Tories, Corbyn told his crowd: "‘They underestimated us, didn’t they?

"They underestimated the good sense of ordinary people, ordinary people all over Britain."

He told voters what they would get if Theresa May and her Conservatives win the election.

“After another five years of a Tory Government - how many more children would be born and grow up in poverty going to school hungry every morning because of the poverty of their income and living situation?

"How many more older people will me more frightened of losing their pension and the security that goes with it?

"How many more people will not receive anything near a living wage after five years of a Tory Government.

"And how many more very wealthy people and big corporations - and those who can place their money in the Cayman Islands and other islands all over the world - would be paying LESS in tax after another five yrs of a Tory Government?"

He added; "This campaign is a choice and there’s never been a clearer choice.

"The choice is another five yrs of a Tory Govt, the underfunding of services all across UK, including here in Scotland, or a Labour Government who invest for all, all across Britain."

In the last moments of the campaign, the Labour leader is warning voters have "24 hours to save the NHS" while Mrs May is highlighting Conservative plans for £23 billion of investment in housing, roads, rail and ultrafast broadband if she is returned to No 10.

Despite Labour continuing to trail to the Conservatives in the polls - even though the gap has narrowed since the start of the campaign - last night an upbeat Mr Corbyn insisted they remain on course for victory.

"We can do something very special on Thursday. We can have a future of hope for the many not the few," he said in an interview with our sister paper the Daily Mirror. "We are going to win."

The two leaders are spending the day frantically criss-crossing the country as they seek to galvanise their supporters and win over wavers before polling opens on Thursday.

Mr Corbyn will sweep the length of the country with a series of rallies starting in Scotland and finishing up in London.

In an interview this morning, he revealed Diane Abbott is still "not well".

The shadow home secretary pulled out of two major election events on Tuesday due to illness amid relentless criticism from the Tories who see her as a weak link in Labour's team.

Labour leader Mr Corbyn told BBC Breakfast that she had not been well for a "couple of days" and was "taking a break from the campaign".

He said: "Of course Diane is somebody that works extremely hard and represents her community very well and I have to say has received totally unfair levels of attack and abuse not just recently - over many years."

Asked how long she would be taking a break, Mr Corbyn replied: "I'll be talking to her later on today - she's not well at the moment."

Ms Abbott had been due to take part in a debate on BBC Radio 4's Woman's Hour and a hustings organised by the London Evening Standard, but was replaced by shadow foreign secretary Emily Thornberry.

A Labour spokeswoman said Ms Abbott's absence from the Woman's Hour debate was because she had fallen ill but the last-minute decision meant Ms Thornberry had to cycle to the studio to fill in.
